Money isn’t too tight - I have a $250 Amazon credit right now to use on whatever.
I’d really prefer to upgrade the CPU because it’s already overclocked and still struggling. When I host a game like Space Engineers, I get massive lag spikes as it tries to keep up.
The CPU is just not enough for what I would like to do.
Yes, Plex transcoding is awful. Hardware transcodes aren’t possible on that build because I have nothing that supports it. The earliest QuickSync capable Intel chips are the 8000 series.
CPU and RAM are consistently >90%. It’s mostly qbittorrent doing that by caching files I’m seeding.
Game servers are mostly stable but Plex struggles if it’s transcoding (necessary due to video file types and who I’m streaming to).
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.
Just double checked and the 13400 is 65W just like the 5600x, which has no iGPU. I know AM4 and DDR4 would greatly reduce the cost of this upgrade but I’d like this to last as long as possible for me.
I’d really like to utilize Intel QuickSync. Anything not capable of that is a deal breaker for me.
Exactly the same thing I did. Now I’m looking to upgrade my server PC cus it’s still running an i5-4690K and struggles if anyone needs transcoding.
You can? I set up a little docker image I found that will update DNS records for cloudflare
Same - I’m very curious as to what it is and how it’s used.
I hate the jargon used in some of these app descriptions.
example: “Enhance workflow with integrated collaboration and intelligent software agents to automate your processes.”
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO
